Cost

I won’t make you hunt around for it or call/email us to find out.  It’s $1000/pup.  Declaws removed, tails docked, first vaccinations, health guarantee, purchase contract. I’m still working on the details on what the documents need to contain but expect to have it all figured out in the next few days.

Red cost $1500 (and Roger flew from Oregon to Illinois to bring her home).  The stud fee was also $1500.  So why are we only charging $1000/pup?  There are several reasons for this, one is that we aren't in this to make money, but on the other hand we want to make sure our pups get superior homes.  Not everyone that can provide a superior home can afford $1500.  Also, we have not field trialed our girl.  Although she comes from a long line of champion bird dogs and the pup’s sire is a field champion, our girl has no title herself.  Her only awards are the personal ones we give her after a successful day in the field.  

Pups are expensive to produce and sell, especially if you are just doing a ‘one off’ litter (not making it a regular thing) and you prepare everything (research, contracts, health certifications, registrations, etc.) one time and may not do it again, so I admit I am probably underpricing these pups.  But rest assured that they aren’t going to go home with just anyone.  I’ve been learning a lot about how to grill prospective new owners to make sure one of our pups will be a good fit for both owner and pup.  Expect to answer a Lot of questions!

See the puppy questionnaire that Boulder Viszlas use for an example (link on the right).
